Actor Jean Smart and “Survivor” host Jeff Probst \u2014 both of whom have local ties \u2014 earned Emmy nominations<\/a> Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

Smart, a Ballard High School graduate and former University of Washington student<\/a>, got the nod in the category of lead actress in a comedy, for HBO Max’s “Hacks.” Smart has won the category for every one of the show’s previous four seasons and was widely expected to be honored again for its fifth and final season. In “Hacks,” which brought her the kind of leading role that’s been rare in her long career, she plays veteran Las Vegas comedian Deborah Vance<\/a>, whose fading career finds new life when she teams with young writer Ava Daniels (Hannah Einbinder, nominated for supporting actress in a comedy series).<\/p>\n

Probst was nominated for best host of a reality or reality competition program \u2014 a category he has won four times previously, for CBS’ “Survivor.” Probst grew up in the Seattle area<\/a>, graduating from Bellevue’s Newport High School, and began his career here.<\/p>\n

The Emmy Awards will take place Sept. 14 at 5 p.m., televised on NBC and streaming on Peacock.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
